Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Consortium Exchange?

The Consortium Exchange is a live market surveillance tool built by the Consortium, the Black Lion Trading Company’s bitter corporate rival. Through a proprietary data-siphoning ether-device, it intercepts live trading floor data from the Guild Wars 2 Trading Post. It tracks top price movers, highlights volume leaders, and monitors Glob of Ectoplasm as the benchmark reserve currency. All data is sourced from the official GW2 Commerce API, intercepted every 5 minutes.

How is price change calculated?

Price change = (current sell price − baseline sell price from 7 days ago) ÷ baseline sell price × 100. Both prices use the same GW2 Commerce API snapshot granularity. Only items with sufficient historical data appear in the movers list.

What is Glob of Ectoplasm?

Glob of Ectoplasm (item ID 19721) is a fine-rarity crafting material in Guild Wars 2. It is used in nearly every high-tier recipe including Legendary weapons, Ascended gear, and Mystic Forge combinations. Its price movement is a proxy for the overall health of the GW2 economy.

How often is data updated?

Fresh intel is intercepted every 5 minutes from the official GW2 Trading Post API. The page cache refreshes at the same interval. Data is stored in a secured ledger for historical comparison, hopefully before Black Lion security golems catch on. For broader market context, see also the Acclaim Allocator and Mastery Atlas.

In Short

The Consortium Exchange is a live market surveillance tool for Guild Wars 2, operated by the Consortium, Evon Gnashblade’s bitter corporate rival. It intercepts the Trading Post economy using live API data from ArenaNet, captured every 5 minutes. The page tracks top price movers (items with the largest week-over-week price changes), volume leaders (most traded items by quantity), and the Ectobar, a persistent benchmark anchored to Glob of Ectoplasm (item ID 19721), the game’s de facto reserve currency. Price data is sourced from the official GW2 Commerce API and stored in the Consortium’s private Postgres ledger for historical analysis. Also explore Acclaim Allocator for Wizard’s Vault picks and Mastery Atlas for skill progression planning.
